Remember in my last post, when I said it’s been a long since I went to a concert? It was time to change that! Seeing Isis and Dälek (Pronounced die-a-lect) really felt a world apart from Massive Attack. At Massive, we were standing ten rows back or so, but here, we were practically two feet away from the performers. Hooray for lesser known bands and up-close and personal concerts. I was initially surprised to see Dälek in the lineup, because they are a hip-hop band, but like someone pointed up, what Isis does for metal and sludge, Dälek does for hip-hop. They were great live, and reminded me somewhat of Coaxial, two thumbs up.

The club was a perfect venue for the concert, my only complaint being the horrible mixing of the microphone audio. Any singing by both Dälek and Isis was practically inaudible. Such a shame.

It’s been a while since I’ve went to a concert, so going to see Massive Attack felt great. The fact that their light show is über-awesome didn’t really hurt either. Having never seen them live, I was a bit worried that a lot of the performance would be on playback, because of the vast array of singers and musical elements they use in their songs, but I was pleasantly surprised to see them aided by a group of very talented singers. (Horace Andy, Martina Topley-Bird and Deborah Miller) They even played a brand-new song, exciting! You can see excerpts from the concert (Including the new song) in super-shiny high-definition resolution below.
